They finally get it...

[Family Court Strategies: When Your Partner Has BPD OR NPD Traits.]

My family really didn't understand why I was so adamant and going to such great lengths to get away from my ex. Even after he infested my parent's house with bedbugs and did not offer to help with the expense of extermination, they couldn't understand why I did everything short of changing my name to get away from him.

About a year ago, shortly before we broke up, my hands started to itch. I could get rid of it with lotion and antihistamines. And they didn't itch every day. Then about two months ago, I broke out over my entire body. The itching was so intense I couldn't sleep. Turns out I had scabies. Gross!

Scabies is pretty hard to get. It takes lots of contact with someone with an infestation. My ex is the only person I could have possibly gotten them from.

When I told my mother, the first words out of her mouth were, "Oh, he is just the nastiest man. What is wrong with him?"

Thank you! Finally... .

A little validation is sweet.

My family will, unfortunately, get a visual next week. I've wiped out the the infestation, but my body looks like I've got early-stage leprosy.

When I emailed him to give a heads up, since my outbreak would coincide or overlap with his, he denied it. No symptoms, no nothing. I can't see how that is truth. Maybe I'm wrong... .

That's not my problem. My problem is moving on... .
